Prepare these souffles up to the end of step 2 ahead of time to avoid last-minute entertaining stress.

Melted butter, to grease
1 cup (220g) caster sugar, plus extra
3 cups (450g) frozen berries, thawed
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbs cornflour
3 eggwhites
Icing sugar and vanilla ice cream, to serve

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease four 1-cup (250ml) capacity ramekins. Dust with extra caster sugar, shaking out any excess.
2.

Combine the berries, vanilla, lemon juice and 1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar with 1/4 cup (60ml) water in a saucepan over medium heat. Combine cornflour with 1 tbs water, add to the berries and cook for 2-3 minutes until fruit has broken down. (The mixture can be chilled for 3-4 hours at this stage.)
3.

Whisk eggwhites and remaining 1/2 cup (110g) caster sugar in a bowl until thick and glossy. Fold three-quarters of the cooled berry sauce into the eggwhite. Divide the remaining sauce among the ramekins and top with eggwhite mixture.
4.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until risen. Dust with icing sugar and serve with ice cream.
